Feeling sad for @Kharnynb, losing his beer to some intruder, leaving a bad taste in the mouth.had my first infection, the wife forgot to warn me she had reused my spare starsan sprayer for spraying water on her houseplants and not emptied it after use..... guess who grabbed the wrong sprayer to sanitise his fermenter? I didn't notice it wasn't foaming......
am i the only one who can't see Kharnynb's image? i'm seeing a big space with a small circle with a bar through it, as if the image is missing or i don't have permission to see it... see screenshot below.

I can not either. I pretty sure Islandlizard could not either, they were just being funny about it.
No guys, I'm not fooling around, I can see the image crisp and clear, same as in the original thread he posted it. But... I can't save it or view it externally.ah, silly me... i thought maybe he could see it because he's a mod, whereas us plebes didn't have permission to view
The image is gone for me too, now.This mod can't see the image. Just the bar in a circle.
Brew on

Did you intentionally leave the souring wort exposed to air? That's probably the reason it grew the pellicles.Ok my beer loving friends. I am new to kettle souring and had a rocky start, thought everything was working great then this. [...]
Since you added raw malt, it's likely a complex mixture of bugs, not only Lactobacillus. Most kettle sours are controlled by only adding L-Plantarum (from probiotic supplements), and keeping all other bugs out, and not adding raw malt.Is this Lactobacillus or do I have something that is not drinkable here? Has anyone had a pellicle look like this?
@TimmyWit and @sweetcell I owe you some more thanks. Your advice and my patience turned this around and this funky thing took a second place as a mixed fermentation after sitting with Brett b in a warm water bath for many months. I found the last 4 bottles and sent 3 to a competition this year mostly to get rid of it. The remaining half liter is in the fridge for a HBC meeting. Horse blanket wet hay etc.View attachment 551420
I went to bottle this small batch to which I added commercial frozen strawberries (thawed and smashed in the bag ) surprise. It smells like strawberry, it doesn't taste nasty or sour, nor does it taste particularly good, just lack luster. I racked from underneath to a secondary, and capped it as it was a stable SG. I'm thinking of adding some medium toast oak soaked in burbon.
Any thoughts, suggestions? This is not what I was going for, and I haven't any experience with this type of "fermentation". (I know, contamination) Next time fruit is getting treated with alcohol, if there is a next time.
That huge headspace isn't to your beer's advantage either...Something went wrong while putting it to secondary.
At first I thought it was just Brett. Well it actually it had some Acetic Acid...
It's my first time using it so I don't know!What usually happens when you pitch Sourvisiae?
Brewed a non-alcoholic beer and pitched Sourvisiae. After 3 days of no blow off activity we pitched Lallemand Windsor (our usual go-to NA strain). 2 weeks later we found this :0 Any thoughts on what happened?
That’s a lot like what a kettle sour I brewed with lacto P looked like so as long as you were going for a sour it looks okay. (I’m No expert about sours)It's my first time using it so I don't know!
